RE: Nightshade: Return to Karvis III

[Nightshade]

Could I get a simple map to help me visualize the layout of the rest of the troopers please?

[GM Craig]

OK, I'll see what I can put together.

[Nightshade]

Thank you for the map.  Just checking something...the opening description post lists four pairs of troopers and the map is only showing three...is there another pair off somewhere?

[GM Craig]

My bad. The centre (bottom) barricade has two pairs, one either end.

[Trax]

While Nightsahde is planning tactics, a light starts flashing on what appears to be a communications console. The light is accompanied by an audible alert.

*beep beep*
*beep beep*

Nightshade pushes the button to answer the comm.

"Hello?"

"Why haven't you called!  Do you have any idea what I had to go through to get this number?!" screamed the voice.

"Uh, Mom...not a good time..."

[GM Craig]

*snort*

[Nightshade]

Wondering if I could use the call to lure over a couple of the troopers when the techs don't answer it...them being busy playing dead and all. 

How close do I estimate they could get to the barricade before they see me and/or the bodies?

[GM Craig]

Pretty close, if you're ducking down and stealthy.

There's another factor - this call could be related to the attack. If there is no answer, there may be an investigation. By now the stormtroopers are either standing by or about to attack.

[Nightshade]

Yeah I actually had that in my reply I was about to post before I got this new idea...

[Trax]

Does Nightshade still have 2 troopers withing melee range?

I'm just wondering if he could duck behind cover and look to take out any sources of light to help give him more of an edge.

[GM Craig]

He's got no one in melee range.

[Nightshade]

Just so I don't assume anything here...

1. How tall are the barricades?  I was envisioning them about waist to chest high.

2. I count 1 FP remaining for me, do you concur?

[Trax]

Another good question might be what's the lighting situation like?  Maybe Nightshade could pull a batman and disappear into the space above and drop down in a better spot?

[GM Craig]

The barricades are waist high.

You have 2 FP left by my count.

[Nightshade]

I have one more crazy trick up my sleeve then I'll try to vanish.
